The following recent case is one of the most grisly, appalling, unspeakably horrific, brutal, and sadistic cases of abduction, rape, torture, and murder in recent history. It is right up there with the Jeffrey Dahmer or Charles Manson murders. It should be receiving national attention. Yet there has been a media blackout on the case and most Americans know nothing about it.

On January 7, 2007, a young white couple, Christopher Newsom, 23, and Channon Christian, 21, were the victims of an apparant carjacking in Knoxville, TN. The two were approached by two black men armed with firearms, abducted and driven in their own vehicle back to a home used by the abducters. While the young woman, Christain, was made to watch, the young man, Newsom, was raped, sexually assaulted, and beaten. He was then bound, reportedly had his penis cut off, doused with gasoline, set on fire while still alive, then shot at least 3 times and killed. His body is wrapped in bedding and dumped by a nearby railroad track.

The young woman, Channon Christian, is held captive in the house for around 2 days, beaten, and repeatedly raped by 4 black men. The men force her to wipe her mouth (and reportedly drink) a spray cleaner because they believe this will remove the DNA evidence. Though not officially released, the men reportedly cut off her breasts while she is still alive prior to killing her. After killing Christian, her body is dismembered and deposited in 5 trash bags.

Newsom was shot, bound and his body wrapped up in bedding and set afire, according to a search warrant application drafted by Knoxville Police Department Investigator Todd Childress.

Police would find his body later that day discarded like trash along nearby railroad tracks. Two days passed before Christian's battered body was found stuffed in a trash can in the Chipman Street house where, records show, Davidson and Cobbins had been living."

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - A fourth person was arrested Friday in connection with the killing of a young man, whose burned corpse was found dumped along railroad tracks, and the death of his date, who was kept alive for days and raped, authorities said."

Why has there been hardly a peep out of the national media on this case?? If the races were reversed, with the victims black and the perpetrators white, the national media would have had a feeding frenzy, and this would be plastered on the news 24/7 for weeks and weeks.

This case is very similar to another horrific abduction, rape, and murder case that was buried by the national media: the "Wichita Massacre", a 2000 case where two black men abducted, raped, and shot execution style 4 young white people.

Im from knoxville, this is terrible. It would be HUGE news there. I agree with the eye for an eye listed above. The sad thing is if somethings were reversed it would have been a "hate crime" and the charges would have been worse.

my first question is how hard would it be just to drive off or run over these motherfuckers when they are coming after your car

but second, these assholes need to pay, this is one of those times where the police should have an assasin squad and just go in there and raise hell against those people, shoot them in the stomach to make it real painful, then set their house on fire and let them burn alive

Welcome to the world of correctional officers. They go to work every day and deal with so many sick assholes like this. I'll give you just one of many stories I have: This guy and his brother raped and murdered a woman. The two rode around in a car for several days with her body in the trunk--continuing to sexually violate the corpse until the stink became unbearable. Unbelievable but true.

Well, considering that 85% of all people shot with a handgun survive, I think their odds would have been better if they'd been able to fight back. I'm not sure how motivated these people were to commit this crime (it supposedly started as a carjacking, and these two do look like easy targets) but a gunshot wound would probably make a criminal of opportunity back off. IMO.

That being said, I've read TreeTwista10's theory on gunfights in other threads and he is, well, tactically incompetent.

Do you expect the media to report all crimes nationally that occur between blacks and whites?

bttt, should a hate crime even be a crime? Its not illegal for me to hate [insert subset of humankind here] so long as I don't act on it. It is the act that makes the crime, not the motivation, so should that be considered? On the other hand, we do discriminate between the different degrees of murder.

^ no, but this is hardly "any" crime, it is a pretty horrific one. Considering the attention given to the Duke case, the difference in coverage is thrown into pretty sharp relief.

This is a pretty horrific crime, but that's "all" it is, horrific. There's no juicy angle for the media to exploit. You're delusional if you think the media is after anything but ratings, this isn't a jewish conspiracy, it's economics. And they are reporting this, just not focusing on it, it seems, which makes sense, because it's a pretty depressing story.

If the races were reversed, do you think it would maybe get a little more coverage though?

I mean, in the Wichita Massacre, the judge said, "I don't have the ability to order a lot of other people to do or not to do certain things, but I am going to make a very, very strong suggestion that people not talk about this." He's not part of the media, but ask yourself why he would say something like that. Could it apply to the media, as well?

" If the races were reversed, do you think it would maybe get a little more coverage though?"

I think it would, because then there would be an angle to play off of, not because of a racist anti-white conspiracy.

The judge said that because when some crackers here a story like this, they think in their minds that these niggers represent all black people, when in fact, they do not. He's trying, in his own way, to protect blacks and keep race relations moving in a forward direction.

What angle would that be?
